Carnivals and Fiestas
Lanzarote plays host to many religious and cultural celebrations throughout the year that are a spectacle to behold. See the brightly coloured costumes and street parties at ‘Carnaval’ or catch Los Dolores Fiesta on 15th September. Here, locals dress up in traditional costumes and make their way to the Church of Delores to celebrate the lava flow changing direction. In true Spanish style, an all night party takes place after the pilgrimage!
Timanfaya National Park
The incredible National Park is a must see! Journey through the dramatic volcanoes and marvel at the enormous craters and lava tubes. You can really get a sense of the island's explosive past here. There's also the chance to see demonstrations of the tremendous heat that still lies beneath the ground's surface.
Wine Tasting at La Geria Vineyards
With one of the most famous ancient wine bodegas in the Canaries, the unique area of La Geria is not to be missed. You can visit the bodega and sample the delicious wines of the island, gown in volcanic soil. The excellent wine also makes for a great souvenir or gift.
Beaches
The superb beaches of Lanzarote are the main attraction for the millions of holiday makers that visit the island each year. They range from the pristine, coffee coloured sand of Matagorda’s Blue Flag Beach to the 'white beach' that gives Playa Blanca its name. Most offer excellent facilities and water activities but you'll also find stunning rugged bays such as Papagayo Beach.
Rancho Texas
By day the ranch opens its doors to visitors in search of a fun family day out. With sea lions, pumas, bison, birds from all over the world, there's plenty to see. By night, Rancho Texas transforms into a Cowboys and Indians frenzy of line dancing, live music, family games and more!
Outdoor Pursuits
Aside from the variety of watersports on offer such as windsurfing and scuba diving, Lanzarote is also an excellent destination for cycling and hiking. The smooth roads and undulating landscape make a fantastic challenge for outdoor lovers. For gentler pursuits, you could hire bicycles and enjoy a leisurely cruise along the coastline. Or, watch the elite in action during the annual Iron Man competition held each May.
Boat Trips
There are a number of boat trips and excursions that can be enjoyed from both the harbour in Playa Blanca and at the opposite end of the resort at the Rubicon Marina. Puerto Calero also offers a fantastic yellow submarine experience. You can also hop aboard the ferry that runs between Puerto del Carmen and Puerto Calero - a lovely way to see the coastline!
